INTRODUCING KOALA CUDDLE WRAP 

STRETCHY

Koala Cuddle Wrap Stretchy is a soft, elastic baby 
wrap, suitable for use from birth. Made of 100% cotton, 
it is super-comfortable in both summer and winter. 
It is a soft (non-structured) one way stretchy wrap, 
meaning it stretches in one direction only, in the 
vertical direction. It can be used to carry your baby 
in various ways and accompanies your baby as they 
transition from the heart-to-heart position to side and 
back babywearing positions.
Koala Cuddle Wrap Stretchy can also be used during 
the third trimester of pregnancy to support your bump 
and distribute weight evenly across the back area.

 

Ideal for children up to 

10

 Kg (tested and approved up 

to a maximum of 15 Kg).
Koala Cuddle Wrap Stretchycan be used right from the 
very first days of a newborn baby’s life for two reasons:
• It makes the transition from womb to mum and

dad’s arms as natural as possible. During those first

weeks following the birth, a young infant is still entirely

dependent on their mum (and with time also on their

dad) and the need for physical contact is vital for them.

A baby carrier helps to satisfy this primal need and

to increase the bond with daddy as they get to know

each other after having spent 9 months inside mum’s

belly.
• A baby adopts the same position they had when

in the womb, curled up with their legs bent in an

M shape and knees higher than their bottom. This

is a physiological position which favours motor

development.
